COVID: 7 Medical Studies on why Face Masks fail

face mask

Scientific Evidence claims Face Masks offer insufficient protection against illness and virus

There have been extensive randomized controlled trial (RCT) studies, and meta-analysis reviews of RCT studies, which all show that Face Masks, Face Covering or Respirators DO NOT WORK to prevent respiratory influenza-like illnesses, or respiratory illnesses believed to be transmitted by droplets and aerosol particles, like COVID-19.

Listed below are medical literature that unanimously agree wearing face masks, surgical masks and respirators (N95 or similar) do not reduce the risk of contracting a verified illness.


1 Long, Y Year: 2020 A total of six RCTs involving 9,171 participants were included. There were no statistically significant differences in preventing laboratory-confirmed influenza, laboratory-confirmed respiratory viral infections, laboratory-confirmed respiratory infection, and influenza-like illness using N95 respirators and surgical masks. Meta-analysis indicated a protective effect of N95 respirators against laboratory-confirmed bacterial colonization (RR = 0.58, 95% CI 0.43-0.78). The use of N95 respirators compared with surgical masks is not associated with a lower risk of laboratory-confirmed influenza.

2 Radonovich, L. J Year: 2019 Among 2862 randomized participants, 2371 completed the study and accounted for 5180 HCW-seasons. Among outpatient health care personnel, N95 respirators vs medical masks as worn by participants in this trial resulted in no significant difference in the incidence of laboratory-confirmed influenza.

4 Smith, J. D Year: 2016 We identified six clinical studies. In the meta-analysis of the clinical studies, we found no significant difference between N95 respirators and surgical masks in associated risk of (a) laboratory-confirmed respiratory infection, (b) influenza-like illness, or (c) reported work-place absenteeism.

7 Jacobs, J. L Year: 2009 N95-masked health-care workers (HCW) were significantly more likely to experience headaches. Face mask use in HCW was not demonstrated to provide benefit in terms of cold symptoms or getting colds.
